A PEN SION ROMANCE.
Enlistment in the Confederate Service
to Escape Andersonville.

Enlistment in the Confederate Service
to Escape Andersonville.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-The Secretary of
the Interior to-day denied the claim of Viii
liam Hedgspeth, an ex-private in the Forty
second Indiana Volunteers. sThe case is an
uncommon one and has been the subject of
much discussion by the pension officials.
Hedgspeth was captured i'll 1853 and con-
fined as prisoner at Andersonville After
remaining in captivity five months he ell
listed in the Confederate army he says, TO
escape starvation and so informed his fellow
prisoners, and that at the FIRST opportunity
he would desert, and if possible make his
way back to his old command
REJOINs HIS REGIMENT.
After short service in the Confederate
army he carried out his intentions and
finally reached his old regiment, in which
he served until discharged. Some years
ago Hedgspeth applied for u pension on the
ground of disability contracted while in the
Federal service This fact was fully sus
tanned. The law provides that no one who
aided directly or indirectly the enemies of
the government in the late war shall be per
mitted to draw pension.
AMENABLE TO TIE LAW.
Hedgspoth's brief connection with the
Confederacy made him amenahle to the
law. His motive, it is said, cannot be taken
into consideration. Opinions by the dozen,
some favorable and others unfavorab!c,
have been written upon the case by differ
ent officials of the Interior Department
At last, after the lapse of yerrs, it reached
the Secretary of the Interior for final ac-
ton. The papers in the case, which are
very voluninous, include a strong protest
against the payment of the pension by
Commissioner Black.
